This is what is annoying me about the left's response to what's going on in Iran. It's like the people of Iran rebel and would-be supporters in the west can only think to trot out--pun intended--the old questions and their stock answers: imperialism blah blah, corporate media lies blah blah, hypocrisy blah. The only thing that no one is talking about is the people of Iran and what they want, where they are going, who they are, etc.. Foucault obviously clung too long to the last Iranian revolution, but at least he asked the right question: "What are the Iranians dreaming about?"
